CHAPTER NEWS
WELCOME TO 2026!
This year is special for all of us on the Adamant as we will be celebrating our 30th anniversary as a chapter of STARFLEET in September – on the same date as the 60th anniversary of Star Trek! Obviously Trek came before us, so we promise not to such up too much of the lime light! Join us this year as we inch closer to this special day! And always remember to Honor the Dream!
CATCH US ON THE HOLODECK!
Back in 2020 we were forced to switch to virtual meetings and events via Zoom due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Since then we have grown to appreciate the many benefits of having virtual events, especially for those members that can not attend in person due to distance, health or scheduling reasons. That said, we do attend in-person events and conventions in the Philly and Mid-Atlantic areas. Therefore we have decided to continue to operate as a hybrid chapter, both virtually and in person. Check out our Calendar page for a complete listing of our upcoming meetings, events and area conventions and join us either virtually or in person.
Computer: End Program!

Mary-25-2026
“It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights, it’s time to meet The Muppets” on Strange New Worlds tonight!

Book Review: ‘Star Trek: Picard: To Defy Fate’ Is A Fun Trip Through Trek History
April-28-2026
When people ask me which incarnation of Star Trek I like, I always answer, “All of it!” — so Dayton Ward’s new novel, Star Trek: Picard: To Defy Fate, is tailor-made for me, because the novel touches on just about every corner of Star Trek. It’s like drinking canon through a fire hose, and appears to be intended for the most comprehensively knowledgeable fans. That’s both its blessing and its curse! … READ MORE
